terrible lorna 10 of April 10. The socie-
ty had already incurred heavy indebti
edness for improvements and in enlarg'
ing the grounds, and is not in condition to
rebuild the exhibition halls this year. but
the managers have courageously deter
mined to hold the fair as usual, and to
do the best they can, under the clrcum.
stances. The exhibition will, probably
partake largely of a stock show, and
with the splendid stock with which the
county abounds, and yearly improving
it can be made very interesting and
entertaining exhibition.
